Refined tranquility begins in the lobby. A hidden retreat for adults to enjoy the renowned hot springs of Arima.
The beauty of the earth, the beauty of the ceiling, the beauty of the heart. Encounter the four seasons, encounter people. The moment when nature and people, heart and heart become one. "Nakanobo Zuien," a long-established Ryokan in Arima Onsen, offers meticulous hospitality.
I booked this as a birthday gift for my mother, who loves Arima Onsen. My brother and mother stayed for two nights, and both said, “It was truly a wonderful Accommodation. Of course the Onsen was great, and the meals were delicious! We were completely satisfied!!” They were so happy, and that made me happy too. My mother is over 80, but she loved the Accommodation so much that she enjoyed the Onsen four times, and even had plenty of seconds at both dinner (teppanyaki) and breakfast (smile). She says, “I want to go to Zuien again!” so I’d like to give it as a gift again this year—or next year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm hospitality. Thank you very much!
なつかよ 3/27/2026We stayed here for the first time on our 41st wedding anniversary, and we definitely want to return together someday. From the parking attendants onward, all of the staff were wonderfully pleasant and welcoming. We were very satisfied with everything—the Room, the Onsen, and the meals. Both dinner and breakfast were served in semi-private dining spaces. We also received a special anniversary surprise, and everything was delicious. In particular, we loved being able to use the lounge freely, which made our stay especially relaxing. Thank you very much to all of the staff.
